    Co to Carrickmacross and it's well signposted from there. Inniskeen is in the south east of Monaghan, not hard to get to.

    Possibly because he's the dullest poet Ireland has ever produced???

    Ah no, obviously that's only my extremely subjective opinion, but I can never bring myself to forgive him for subjecting us to "Stony Grey Soil"...;)

    He's all right but a bit over hyped when you're in school..

    that said he has some cool poems and some that are just meh.

    also what is scary about his homeplace is that it IS in the middle of nowhere and there are people who know all of his poems off by heart... :eek:

    I never really like his works, found them a bit whiny or something. He just doesn't do it for me.
